CALBAYOG CITY –
September 11 marked the official turn-over of the recently completed
two-storey, six-classroom school building to San Policarpo National
High School.
After a short blessing
ceremony, Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Samar First
District Engineer Alvin Ignacio presented the ceremonial key which
was accepted by School Principal Milaner Oyo-a.
Following the minimum
performance standards and specifications (MPSS) prescribed by the
Department of Education, DPWH equipped the school building with a
fire alarm system, automatic water sprinklers, fire escape, PWD ramp
access, and sanitary restrooms. A roof-mount twin water storage tank
was also installed.
San Policarpo NHS has a
total of 2,395 students, 86 teaching staff and 8 non-teaching staff,
all of whom will directly benefit from the addition of six ergonomic
and comfortable classrooms.
DPWH believes the
provision of a well-designed school building helps to enhance
teaching effectiveness and student performance, hence its unwavering
commitment to delivering quality educational facilities on behalf of
DepEd.
